Denim Gold Charity Dinner
What a spectacular night! The Hilton Hotel, Sydney was filled with golden glamour, fame and fortune as the Children's Medical Research Institute celebrates 50years of discovery.
Channel 7 newsreader, Chris Bath hosted the evening, with special guest performance by Australian singer Ricki-Lee Coulter, while 2GB's Ray Hadley hammered dollars from the golden crowd. The evening raised over $275,000 for research into children's genetic diseases.
A big thank you to all who attended the event, your support with "help todays' scientists for tomorrow's children"
